LiveSearch Content Drop Down Menu Doesn't Work in IE

[Nat Katin-Borland]

The LiveSearch content selector drop down menu doesn't seem to work in IE (8 or 9). If you click on the menu it drops down for a slit second, but then folds back up right away, so you're unable to actually make your selection. See screenshot to see the selector that I'm talking about.

This is a good one to report, thanks!

Blaise, perhaps this is one you can tackle.

The select box works under ie9, however under ie8 it's impossible to get a selection with the pointer, only by using arrow keys. Those popups are kind of a weird hack to mask the real popup and put a span over with a different styling. Looks like the event is not well trapped under ie, I would suggest to use a javascript solution instead of a tacky css one.

Jim, can you confirm if this is a bug in production also?

[JimPGlenn (jpglenn09)]

It is still broke on production.

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

Is it broken in production for ux1, under IE?

It works fine for ux1 on production.

[JimPGlenn (jpglenn09)]

This is broken on production ux2 not ux1, it is also broken on dev/osf/ux2

[JimPGlenn (jpglenn09)]

Sorry I was not more specific in last comment. IE9 works across the board; IE8 does not in UX2 on production or dev/ux2/osf but ux1 works for both ie8 and ie9 on production.

[blaflamme (blaise-laflamme)]

Could be related to balazs fixing bug with ie8 and been fixed when he found the solution or related to how fields are masked and js events are fired up.

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

Jim, could you test this in IE8/IE9 on karlstaging and see if it is still broken?

[JimPGlenn (jpglenn09)]

It is fixed on staging ux2

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

If it is fixed on karlstaging then it is fixed. Yay!

[JimPGlenn (jpglenn09)]

done

[Nat Katin-Borland (nborland)]

LiveSearch in UX2 is still broken in IE8. It really doesn't work at all. No text shows up as you type (though the cursor does move), not livesearch results box comes and nothing happens if when you click the search icon to trigger the advanced results page.

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

I'm going to re-open this but assign to Jim, as I think Balazs has fixed something in a related ticket.

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

Jim, I will let you decide if you want to mark as Fix Committed while you are waiting to test it, or remove the "tested" tag, etc.

[JimPGlenn (jpglenn09)]

I cannot get this to fail. It works for IE8 IE9 and FF.

[JimPGlenn (jpglenn09)]

Alright, I kept trying and it is broken with the same error that Balazs has just fixed in dev. see screenshot.

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

This now works on karldev.

[JimPGlenn (jpglenn09)]

the drop down works for IE8, IE9 and FF under UX1 and UX2. It is much slower on UX2 than UX1 but no errors.
